Searing heat not an issue for Roy

England manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed his players will not be following France’s lead by using ice jackets to cool down in Donetsk today.

It is forecast to top 30 degrees today for the Euro 2012 Group D opener.

With the Donbass Arena scheduled to be at its 50,000 capacity, give or take a few hundred seats still to be sold, it is likely to be even warmer on the pitch.
